How to Re-Restore 5.1.1-5.1.1 on iPhone4S using redsn0w 0.9.15b1 (Windows)

These are instructions on how to re-restore your iPhone from iOS 5.x to
iOS 5.x. This procedure will work for any A5+ device so long as you
have the SHSH Blobs saved for the firmware you are currently on and the
firmware you would like to restore to.

Important***: You DO NOT QUALIFY for iOS5-to-iOS5 restores if you got to your current 5.x via an OTA (Over-the-Air) update.

Step OneCreate a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download the latest version of RedSn0w and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the firmware you
would like to restore to and the firmware you are current on and place it/them in the Pwnage folder.

Extract the RedSn0w zip file to the Pwnage folder.

Step TwoRight click or control-click the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier and choose Open from the popup menu that appears.

Step ThreeClick Extras from the main menu.

Step FourClick Even More from the Extras menu.

Step FiveClick Restore from the Even More menu.

Step SixClick IPSW from the Restore menu, choose the IPSW you would like to restore to from the window that appears, and click Open.

Step SevenRedsn0w will prompt you to connect your device. Do so, then click the Ok button.

Step EightIf
you need to point RedSn0w to another firmware ipsw it will ask you to
do so. If you are re-restoring the same firmware version, RedSn0w will
check Cydia to see if you have the correct blobs saved.

If RedSn0w is unable to find your blobs automatically you can try to click the Remote button to try again or you can click the Local button to search for blobs on your computer.

Step NineRedSn0w will place your device into recovery mode.

You may be asked to acknowledge that this procedure will update your Baseband. Click Yes to continue or No to stop.

RedSn0w will now restore your iPhone.

Step TenYou'll be informed when your restore has completed successfully.
